If people are shopping (especially online) I hope this will give them a better idea of how biners compare in size and shape than just the manufacturer specs. Enjoy! top from left: petzl spirit (old style), BD oz hoodwire, BD oz, trango superfly, BD neutrino, mammut moses. bottom from left: madrock superlight (?), WC helium, WC xenon, trango phase, CAMP orbit, CAMP photon, CAMP nano wire top from left: petzl spirit (old style), BD oz hoodwire, BD oz, trango superfly, BD neutrino, mammut moses. bottom from left: madrock superlight (?), WC helium, WC xenon, trango phase, CAMP orbit, CAMP photon, CAMP nano 1 Flag Quote

Just updated the caption to note it's the nano wire, not the nano 23 (same size but crappy gate action, IMHO) or the nano 22 (just released, haven't used them but they look promising). 0 Flag Quote

I've been using them for racking and on draws for alpine climbs and been happy. Don't think I would use them with gloves, they are that small. 0 Flag Quote
